The Reunion Committee of the Class of 76 does it again with their 50th Anniversary celebration. We get a look at an official response to Donald Trump’s rhetoric, introducing a Forest Undergrowth Clearing & Kindling Operation for Foreign Friends initiative. We learn some Aussie Slang, The Reach Centre is finished and I got married. All in all, not a bad month.
Is it over? Who will take over if Harvey decides he can’t carry on? Read this month’s newsletter to ponder these questions and more.
More automobile memories this month along with a trip I made last week with Carol in which we head to Nova Scotia and end up buying a house by the sea. Harvey shakes his head over the latest bafoonery down south and much more so check it out today.
Harvey covers all the sports from trick or treating to snow shoveling. Jim Groundwater keeps it all in the family at Advanced Dynamics. Rob Ellicott takes the puck and a bow. Larry Llewellyn remembers Mel Smith and introduces our new feature Automobile Memories. Fred Hore shows us The Holiday Train, we tip our hat to some lost friends and the jokes are actually funny.
Happy Canada Day! One final issue of The Alumni Connection before we break for the summer. In this issue, Harvey crosses the border, Jane Lawrence scores a hole in one, Carol Storen reports from the No Kings demonstration in San Francisco, the Annual Alumni Bursary winners are announced and we say goodbye to three alumni including surrealist Artist, Alan Glass, Class of 1947.
Lots of reaction to the reunion in this newsletter. We have too many photos to put in the newsletter but we have been updating the 2025 Reunion page. We have more coming including the Class photos which we are still working on, so check out the newsletter and come back in about a wek’s time to see the rest.
One month closer to the reunion and it is now definitely time to get your tickets. We didn’t receive many submissions this month so don’t blame us for this month’s newsletter. At least it’s timely.
Editorial recap of the month that was September, Bob Wrigley remembers his most embarrassing moment in sport, St. Lambert International becomes the first school to adopt the Yondr program in Quebec in which students give up their phones during classes, more school news, an unfortunate return to our monthly obits, and the usual nonsense of random shots.
We’re back with a recap of the scorching hot summer, a trip to remember, praise for the reunion, news about Taylor’s, St Lambert Days, the expansiveness of memory, school news and more random shots of humour. Don’t miss it.
